Abstract (en)

A system includes an electrical enclosure, a first electrical unit (12), a first electrical module (14), a first heat spreader (76), and a heat sink (44). The first electrical unit (12) is removably disposed within the electrical enclosure, and the first electrical unit (12) includes a first surface opposite to a second surface. The first electrical module is removably disposed within the first electrical unit (12), and the first electrical module is inserted into the first electrical unit (12) in a first direction (36) from the first surface to the second surface. The first heat spreader (76) is coupled to the first electrical module, and the first heat spreader (76) comprises a first tapered coupling. The heat sink (44) includes a second tapered coupling (102). The second tapered coupling (102) is couples with the first tapered coupling of the first heat spreader (76) to form a physical thermal connection that facilitates heat transfer between the first electrical module and the heat sink (44).
